Superstructures

We use highly engineered climbing formwork systems which allow for the accurate and fast adjustment of the formwork. These are fully hydraulic climbing systems with platforms which can store up to 40T of material on its top deck. This capacity enables us to reduce hook time.

‍

We can also use smaller stair components which can be installed without affecting the continuity of core construction.

We employ digital technology to capture real time data during the concrete curing process. The system we use tells us how the concrete is performing and enables us to measure early age strength. This in turn improves our project planning and enables us to work more productively, for example by reducing cycle times. An added benefit to having real time data on concrete maturity is that we can more reliably produce quality finishes.

We piloted the first wireless formwork positioning system at the Elephant Park Project for Lendlease. Multiple sensors attached to defined measuring points communicate wirelessly with a central processing unit to provide real time information on the positioning of the formwork and as-built record of the concrete core.

At 70 St Mary Axe, we constructed one of our tallest free standing slip form cores rising to 96 m in height and slip formed from B3 to Level 22. Optical plumbs were used to continuously monitor and minimise any deviation. With the rig climbing at up to 2.5 m per day, we completed the core five weeks ahead of programme.

We use the latest state-of-the-art construction methods, technology and practices including the use of hydraulic protection screens, concrete placing booms, hydraulic rail mounted panel formwork systems and climbing hoists and loading platforms. Our skill and experience in the use of this technology ensures the fast, safe and highly precise construction of high-rise structures.

Our best-in-class safety approach ensures the safety of our workforce and all those working around them on site. We use innovative hydraulically climbed screens and access systems to enable cladding and concreting operations to run simultaneously and negate the downtime associated with wind and inclement weather. By using modular decking systems, the majority of construction can be carried out from slab level, eliminating the requirement for high access platforms and minimising the use of harnesses for infill works and edge protection installation.
